The Geeks Were Right - The Faint

Eyeballs float in wet green grass

I got a chain saw motor

That’s filled with rain

But when it sings like Bach

The eyes all bulge

Then when the pink sun drops

The eyelids fold

While I’m in deep REM sleep

Or twilight zones

I take a freight elevator

And press fast forward

I get to grind these teeth

And peek through time

If I could bring things back

They’d feedback wild

When I saw the future — the geeks were right

Egghead boys

With thin white legs

They got modified features

And software brains

But that’s what the girls like

The geeks were right

When I saw the future — the geeks were right

Predator skills

Chemical wars

Plastic islands at sea

Watch what the humans ruin

With machines

Eyeballs float in wet green grass

I’m in a chainsaw choir

In dreams that bend

To let me cut through time

And stretch out Bach

I make the dry eyes roll

And wet eyes cross

While I’m in deep REM sleep

Or twilight zones

I take a freight elevator

And press fast forward

So I can grind these teeth

And peek through time

If I could bring things back

They’d feedback wild

And when I saw the future — the geeks were right
